I hear them calling my name
Dancing on my desk
Life in shambles
Need to rebuild
Phone is an arms length away
One push and my pain will go away
Don’t have enough cash
I’ll find a way
Pray I make it another day
I want to run
Hide for another day
Drugs help me hide
Make the pain subside
Jump for the window
Can’t keep up
Wanna fly
Leave this world behind
Heart aches
Need to find real love

Just want real love
